   Private Sasser’s last words are so true — “It means a lot to the country that I am who I am.” It is very important that we honor the heroic deeds performed by this brave man who thinks he was “just doing his job”.

   It would have been a privilage to serve along Clarence. I could care less whether he would have been black or white or green or purple. This is a man who did his job well and other men are alive because of his bravery.
   God bless you Clarence. Maybe some day I can say that in person.

   Thanks for sharing this.

   CJ, you know every month is white history month. Well, that was true in the 50′s but not anymore. Yes, there are still some racist idots out there (white and black), but there are less and less of them.

   And to our Attorney General, “Let’s all quit the race baiting. If you see racism some where, then identify it and name names. Don’t preach to the rest of us. Many of us have been on your side for years. But we are tired of being preached to by … RACISTS.”

   But, we get 3 white history months. December, January, and February. It has a HISTORY of being WHITE on the ground.

   Heh Heh, I made a funny…

   It just reminds me of my grandfather. When I was a kid, he occasionally wore this blue ribbon to some parades and such. I asked my grandmother what it was, and she said he got a medal during the war. And I would watch as every single person in uniform, including police, and many that weren’t in uniform, snap to.

   Yeah, that blue ribbon had white stars on it. I think you know what it is.

   Mr. Sasser,

   I saw your story tonight on the Military History channel. I was very moved while hearing about you and your heroic actions. In my mind you are a true hero Sir. I thank God for people like you.

   May God bless you,

   Ron

   Forgive me for expressing my opinion here. I do not mean to offend anyone with what I am about to say.

   In my humble opinion this is a place to honor a very brave man. Why is race being brought up here? This is about a true American hero. My God people this man was awarded the Medal of Honor.

   If Clarence reads this message, I would like to ask him if he is the same “Clarance” that I worked with at the Swift (Bunge) Edible Oil Refinery in Fort Worth Texas during 1970-1972. I am the part-time Lab tech. that worked with Clarence at this Refinery. My brother Mike also worked with him. If he is in fact the same person who worked at this refinery with me, I wish he would please send me an email to lambert_lane@yahoo.com.

   Thank you,
   Lane

   I hate these idiots who say “I was just doing my job”. Mindless zombies who don’t think about the people they kill, the number they kill, or for what reason in which they murder. “I was doing my job which consisted of murdering others without question” should be their answer. Also a murderer is a murderer no matter what race he is.

   I’m such a loser and coward, I couldn’t even leave a real email on this comment. Instead, I’ll just fling ignorant statements that I have no idea about. But, these were the talking points I was given.
